Windows 10: Widgets W11 stopped working

Widgets stopped working. It just gives a black or white screen, depending on the windows customization.Apparently it was after updating Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool x64 - v5.98 KB890830Anyone else with this problem?

:)

 

Email Widget stopped working.

My email widget suddenly stopped working. It no longer displays the latest mails, just the account name, and pressing it fails to lauch the mail application.



The email application it self works fine.



I have tried removing the widget from the homescreen and then adding it again.



Any suggestions?

 

Yahoo Wrather Widget stopped working

About 5-11-16 the Yahoo Weather Widget stopped working in all Windows 10-based computers. Until then, the widget worked just fine.

I tried removing the necessary Windows updates, reloading the Yahoo Widget engine, but that doesn't help. Still no weather widget.

However, the other widgets work just fine, i.e. the clock, financial report, etc.

Anybody?

Any ideas how to get that wonderful widget back into operation?

THANKS!

Weird floating Youtube widget, how to stop it?

Thanks for the suggestion, I had checked that. This is Windows doing this. I don't think a chrome extension could know the CPU usage, and it's definitely (proven now) that it was only happening during > 95% cpu usage. It was like Windows was thinking "I can't guarantee I can reliably render these youtube videos while the CPU is being slammed so much". It's an admirable thing that it cares about my entertainment experience, but I'd rather it limited the CPU hog task(s) to help me, rather than randomly pausing the video instead and offering me a control widget.
